Four men were walking down the street, a Saudi, a Russian, a North Korean, and a New Yorker.  A reporter comes running up and says, "Excuse me, what is your opinion about the meat shortage?"

The Saudi says, "Excuse me, what's a shortage?"

The Russian says, "Excuse me, what's meat?"

The North Korean says, "Excuse me, what's an opinion?"

The New Yorker says, "Excuse me?  What's excuse me?"
